Do you guys want a MITM Games Forum?

We have had many games started recently by members, which I feel, and some of my fellow members will probably agree with me have begun to clutter up the "serious" discussions in the Wilkerson Times.

I have discussed this with my moderators and we all seem quite split on the idea of a seperate sub forums for mitm games.

I therefore put it to all the forum members, do you think we should have a subforum for games or not?

I am deliberatly NOT making this a poll because I actually want your opinions not just your votes! :D

Personally I think it would decrease clutter in the Wilkerson Times and make serious discussions more easy to find.

Opinions?

Also name suggestions would be good... I have

Crapopoly Corner
Marlin Acacademy (I will spell it right if its used!)

Yeah, I think a sub forum would really sort things out. I like the Crapopoly Corner suggestion. Marlin Academy makes me think or rules and order and...well, not fun and games.

Also, I've seen other forums make some of the sub forums independant of the post count. Perhaps, with the increase in non-MitM posts, you should consider this for the Grotto and maybe the games sub forum.

I quite agree the Grotto forums should be removed from post counts, although a gaming forum would probably be included as it would be reduced to only MITM related games.

Where did you get that idea?:confused:
I picked it out of thin air, and thought it was a great name! :D

No of course not! Its actually the name of the game the boys play in a unused cold opener, Malcolm describes it to the audience, a picture can also be found under an episode as we see them play it again there - I believe its Convention.

personally, i have no interest in games, :D id be happy for them to not exist, but, if we do have the then a sub forum in tiki would be best. however the main tiki section i believe should remain part of post count, just make the game sub forum not, as most posts are just a few words or numbers. :D

I tend to agree that although games have to do with MITM, they are generally extremely low in their content, and don't really add much. I wouldn't count posts in a game forum.

That's what I meant to say, but I didn't explain. I've seen other forums not count polls/surveys or mandate that they be put in the section where posts aren't counted.

Well it seems we have a reasonably positive response to a MITM games forum.

To make it clear this would ONLY be for MITM games, NOT for others.This moves that the quote quiz, survior and other games would all be moved into this section of the forum. As yet we still haven't confirmed a good name for this new board

Ideas include:

  • Vegas
  • Casino
  • Crapopoly Corner
  • Marlin Academy
  • Home Alone 5
  • Poker #3
  • Burning Man Festival Forum
  • The Lucky Aide
  • The Grotto (and rename)
  • Reese's Apartment (and rename)
  • The Boys Room
  • Under the Couch
  • others....

But thats boring! :D I want the forums to have their own personalities, thats why I try and name them after things in MITM, then it can also jog people's memory of episodes and keep them thinking about MITM all the time they are here, even when they are diverging off into other conversatoins, such as band practice, the time space continum and spagehtti.

Crapopoly Corner it is! I have transfered as many games threads as I could find over to the forum, and opened a couple of them again. The mods will be more relaxed in this forum with games, allowing them to continue perhaps longer than we would have normally in the Wilkerson Times.

This has been done to move the games out of the Wilkerson Times, as they tended to clutter the place up.

Please remember that these forums are about discussion still, to show this the forums have been told not to count posts made in the games forum.
